While print books remain the staple of the book publishing industry, writers now have a plethora of digital tools that allow them to easily create a variety of ebooks. The last barrier to entry: fear. In this hands-on seminar, participants will take their own writing (finished or not for our purposes) and learn how to use simple drag-and-drop software in order to create books in various formats (EPUB, Kindle files, web-based books, and even multi-media iPad files). No prerequisite skills required (really). If you feel comfortable surfing the Web, you'll be just fine.
